He's definitely a homebody and cannot stand to be separated from his brother, so all of this activity was challenging for him. Overall we think it was great for him to get some time away and spread his wings a little. Being 5 is tough!
With all the excitement going on, Samuel didn't want a party. So, we went to a water park nearby that he's always wanted to go to with a few friends and everyone came back for dinner and dessert. It was a perfect way to celebrate our precious Samuel!
Off camping with Daddy
They came home first thing Sunday morning, his actual birthday.
Spiderman costume from Nana. He didn't even know what Spiderman was, but asked Nana for a Spiderman costume for his birthday. Of course, she came through for the little man!
Water park after church
His lego cake
We celebrated both Annabelle and Samuel's birthday's while Nana was here.
Luray Caverns with Gigi and GranRan.
We thank God for this amazing child he has given us. He brings so much joy to our lives and we are so honored to be his parents. God is doing some awesome things in his life and we are glad we get to be a part of it all. It's going to be a great big year for Samuel. We start Kindergarten in the fall! I'm so excited to finally be offically homeschooling. It is going to be so fun! What an honor, but oh what a huge responsibility, too.
I will rest in the truth that God does not call the equipped, he equips the called.

oh Amy - you are such a great mamma! Love the lego cake:) And the spiderman costume! Our Samuel started talking about spider man recently too - no idea where it came from. But - he is getting a spider man costume for his B-day too (can't say I'm thrilled:) - but I understand why little boys like superhero's:) Tell Samuel Happy Birthday from all of us!
Love the final quote!
